[antlr-interest] ANTLR and Class.forName()

Terence & I have chatted about this issue a bit, and I'm gonna work this in
for the 2.7.6 release (along with the JSR-45 support).

I'm factoring out the XML support as an extension (so it doesn't cause extra
work for the other code gen folks), and will release it at the same time.

Later,
